Chapter 1

"HUNTER, JAXON AND APRIL TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE NOW" yelled Ms Parkinson shaking her fist. She actually looked like an old man who you would see asking little kids to get of his lawn, with her old grey sweater and tight bun at the nape of her neck, thought April. Everyone snickered and 's face turned a bright shade of red. "I said that aloud didn't I.." she muttered. "Yup, nice one,'' her brother Hunter murmured back. Ms Parkinson opened her mouth, no doubt about to give them another lecture about respect and courtesy so the kids ran out of the classroom leaving Ms Parkinson gaping like a goldfish behind them.

They made their way slowly to the principal's office. They weren't scared of the principal. They were actually on a first name basis.

"'Sup Ted!", said Hunter casually as they strolled in a crashed onto the plush sofa in the Principals office. The principal let out a sigh.

"It's Principal Haynes to you" he said.

"Right…" said Hunter.

"So kids.. What did you do this time?"

"Nothing much", Started Jaxon but after sharing a glance with April and remembering the look on Ms Parkinson's face when she fell of her chair, set him of laughing which made April and Hunter begin laughing as well.

"Guys"…. The principal began attempting to look strict but failing miserably as he tried to contain his smile.

"We just loosened some bolts on her chair.. No biggie!", April said trying to contain her giggles.

"You can't keep doing this kids.. And after the incident with the mushrooms you should be ashamed!"

"Yeah, yeah.. Said Hunter, "so do we go back to class?".

"Yes," Principal Haynes said sighing. "Try not to get into any more trouble?"

"No promises! Talk to 'ya later Ted!" yelled Jaxon as the three made their way to their Modern History class.

In modern history

"Ok guys, today you will be receiving your semester assignment," said Ms Dewar. A collective groan echoed around the classroom. "This report makes up 75% of your semester report so I expect every one put a lot of effort into this assignment. After choosing a topic in relation to our recent study on the Avengers, you will be writing are report and submitting a multi modal presentation with it. You will be collecting information from a reliable source, preferably from the library or museum and will use these sources to create your multimodal presentation. I understand that this is a large task so you will be working in groups of three to create the presentation. The report however must be individually done. Get to work!" Everyone immediately shifted into groups of three including April, Hunter and Jaxon. They were all best friends from birth and were rarely separated. Hunter and April were twins and fiercely protective of one another unlike most siblings. Jaxon was a best friend of the twins being their next door neighbour. Together the three were the trouble makers of the school Riverdale High, which was situated in the busy town of Drewvale.

"Ok guys… what are we doing?" April began.

"Lets do… the Tesseract incident and when the Avengers saved the world", said Jaxon. Despite the three being the troublemakers of Riverdale they usually avoid severe punishments due to their immaculate grades. All of them were straight A students. They all had the utmost respect for the Avengers and had posters of them in all of their rooms. "Cool, so we'll meet up at our house around 4.30, go to the Museum, collect info and finish up Ben and Jerry's? said Hunter.

"Sounds good," said April just as the bell rang. "Well, 'don't know 'bout you guys but I've got egotistical idiots who come late on your date to prank… so laters!" She blew them both a kiss, smirked and walked out of the classroom with a bounce in her step. The two boys looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"Wanna ditch Trig and go to Macca's? asked Jaxon.

"Sure bro, lets take my car!"

After school at the twins' house

"Come on guys, the sooner we start the sooner we go to get ice cream" said Hunter. April and Jaxon ran out of the house screaming at each other. Hunter sighed. He should get paid for making sure they don't kill each other. After going through the same process he went through a thousand times a day of breaking them apart Hunter drove them all to the museum. As soon as they got there the trio rushed through the marble tunnels to the large avengers section of the museum. They all knew the museum grounds like the back of their hands as this was the place they all came to when home life was tough. Their parents were all separated and they used to come here and take refuge in the old and moth eaten yet comfy couches of the museum and fill their brains with the wonderful, inspiring and sometimes stupid acts that their ancestors carried out. The Avengers section was at the back so they had to walk quite a bit to get there. They smiled at the museum curator who they had become friendly with over their many visits to the place and sat down at one of the old wooden tables. They split up and went around looking for books that they thought useful. Once they had finished they all sat down and did some individual study.

April went off in search of books and placards about the black widow. She was April's favourite member of the avengers. With her slick black costume and no nonsense attitude, April aspired to be just like Natasha. Jaxon went to look for books about Thor, who was his favourite member of the Avengers. The great demi god's power awed him and he desired to be just like him. Hunter searched for books about Tony Stark. The man's intelligent and wit was very similar to his which is one of the reasons that iron man was his favourite. After gathering all the information they needed they decided to leave. After thanking the museum curator they started towards Hunter's car. "So I was thinking Chinese take-out of dinner?" asked Hunter, but he was met by silence. This was a rare occurrence and he turned around. He saw two men in black coats holding his sister and best mate. "Hey!" he yelled at started to run toward them but then he felt a sharp sting is his neck and all went black.
